TO SHUT UP SHOP.

Notice that tho B. and O. Offices Would
Close Up at IL O'clock Last Night.
Learning that as 8 result of the great
telegraph deal between the Western
Union and Baltimore and Ohio Com
panies the offices of the latter would be
closed Saturday, q GAZETTE man sought
confirmation of the report
Operator Gates at the latter office said he
had not received official notice to close
up, but he learned by talking with Dallas
that q general order to cut the wires ad
gone out from New York and that
the consolidation of the two systems
would go into effect at midnight. The
effect of this would be somewhat
different in Texas since the wires used
in this state by the Baltimore and ONO
were mainly the property of the Santa Fe
Railroad to which they would now re-
vert, and it was highly probable that an
independent business would be carried
on by the railroad people, who might see
proper to extend their lines greatly.
Manager Frankel of the Western Union
said that he had received notice from
Superintendent Baker that ST mid
night the lines of the other
company would pass into the control of
the Western Union. He supposed this
would close up the Baltimore and Ohio
Office here and at other Texas towns,
though be was aware OF Santa Fe owner
ship of the wires. When asked what
effect the deal would have on operators,
Mr.. Frsnkel said there were many first
class men in the Baltimore and Ohio
service, whom the Western Union would
like to hire, but that great many opera
tors would be thrown out of work.

/ a Fort Worth Man Who thinks Califor
mia Oyerestimated as to Climate.
In conversation with Mr.. J. T. Ellis,
who has lately returned from trip to the
California slope, GAZETTE man learned,
rather to his astonIshment, that even
the much talked of and widely praised
climate Of California falls short
of perfection. Mr.. Ellis remark
ed that he went there for his health,
"but," said he, "I came back worse than
when started. did not receive par
ticle of benefit from the climate, and l
am free to say 1 think the climate Of
Texas much superior. 1t may benefit
some people but others derive no advan-
tage. l am satisfied that for lung trou-
bles the pure dry air Of the region about
FL Paso is far better than can be found in
any part Of California. l went expecting
to see much that was desirable
and beautiful, and confess that
while the country Is, in some respects,
worthy of all the praise it has got, on
the whole it fell fer below my expects-
tons.
"Values are largely fictitious now, but
this sort of thing cannot last. San Diego
will, think, DE fine city some day, but
property there is away beyond reason. As
long as the boom lasts of course the peO-
pie are juoilant and act as if the flush
times were going to continue always.
Here is where they make pig mistake.
Some of them, l believe, realize this
and would like to "unload." They are
banking on the continuous crop Of wealthy
fasteners to sell out to, but a day is
comiIg-and not very far of, think,
coy and shy of an investment in Califor-
MIA dlrt.''

Recurring to the case of the commission
the opinion proceeds:
The act of congress not only authorizes
searching investigation into the methods, af-
fairs and business of the Central Pacific Railroad
company but 1t makes IL the duty of the railroad
commission to inquire into, to ascertain, and re-
port whether any of the directors, officers
or empoyes of that company have been
or are now directly or indirectly
interested\ and to what amount or
extent in any other railroad steamship, tele-
graph, express mining construction, or other
business company or corporation, and with which
any agreements, undertaking, or leases have
been made or entened into. There are over 100
officers, principal and minor, of the Central Pa
cific railroad company, and nearly 5000 en-
ployes. 1t is not unreasonable to suppose that q
large portion of these the have same interest as
or corporation, with which railway company
they have an agreement of some kind and It
would be difficult TO state the extent to which an
exploration of the commission into the private
affairs OF these persons may not go il the man
date Of the act could be fully carried out
The commission is limited in its inquiries into
the interest of these directors, officers and EN-
ployes in any other business, company OF corpor-
alton to such matters as these persons may choose
to disclose. They can not be compelled 20 open
their books and expose such other business to the
inspection and examination of the commission.
They were not prohibited from engaging in any
other business because of their interests in and
connection with the Central Pacific Railroad
company, and that other business might as well
be the construction and management of other rail-
roads, as the planting of vines raising of fruit,
In which some Of these directors and officers and
employees have been In fact engaged and they are
entitled to the same protection and exemption
from inqusitorial investigation into such business
as any other citizens engaged In like business.

state legislation. The matter was argued be-
fore Justice Field. setting with United States
Circuit Judge Sawyer and United States
District Judges Hoffman and Sabin,, lest
Monday. The chief question raised was to
determine the power of the railway commits
sion to compel the witnesses in question to
answer their queries.
In his decision, which is concurred in by
Judge Sawyer and Judge Sabin, Justice
Field says the question has been fully ar
gued, aud that in resisting the motion the
counsel Of the Respondent have not confined
themselves to discussion of the propriety
and necessity of the interrogatories and the
sufficiency of the answers given by him, but
they have assailed the validity of the act
creating the commission so far as it author
lies an examination into the private affairs
of the directors, officers, and employees of the
Central Pacific Railroad company and con-
ferring the right to invoke the power of the
federal courts in aid of a general investiga-
ton as directed.
He then goes on to say that the commission
is not a judicial body in any degree, but
mere board of inquiry, with power to invoke
the aid Of the courts to compel attendance of
witnesses, their answer of proper questions
and production of papers, books, etc. He
then says:
Few rights are of greater Importance or more
essential to his piece and happiness than the
right of personal security, and that involves not
merely the protection of his person from assault,
but exemption of his private affairs, books, and
papers from the inspection and scrutiny Of
others. Without the enjoyment of this right all
other rights would lose half their value.
The law provides for compulsory production In
progress of judicial proceedings as by direct suit
for that purpose of such documents as affect the
interest Of others, and also in certain cases for
the suizure of eliminating papers necessary for
the prosecution of offenders against public JUS
tice, and only one of these ways can they be OBJ
tanned and their contents made known against
the will of the owners.
